ANZ Hot Shots

Hot Shots tennis is Tennis Australia’s official starter program.  It is designed to let children develop technically and tactically in an environment that is always fun and exciting.  Aimed at children aged 4-12 years old, it uses modified courts, racquets and balls to keep things fun and easy.  The Junior Tennis Coaching Program is based on a “learning through play” philosophy where children serve, rally and score.  Click here to download a ANZ Tennis Hot Shots fact sheet.

ANZ Tennis Hot Shots is split into three stages

  • Blue
  • Red
  • Orange
  • Green
  Launch-Pad

The Launch Pad stage introduces children to tennis through games and fun activities. Children learn the basics of tennis including how to rally. At Tennis Gear we run Mini-Red programs as part of our own unique launch pad program.

Court size: Variable
Tennis ball: Red ball (25% compression)
Recommended racquet size: 19–23 inches

 Red-Stage

The Red stage is for beginners. The red ball is larger than a yellow ball and doesn’t bounce as high (just 25 per cent compression), making it a breeze for even the youngest players to hit it comfortably. The courts and nets used in the Red stage are much smaller and easier for kids to move around.

Court size: 3m × 8.23 or 6m × 10.97
Tennis ball: Red ball (25 per cent compression)
Recommended racquet size: 21–23 inches

 Orange-Stage

After mastering the Red stage, children move on to the Orange stage where the ball bounces a little higher (50 per cent compression) and the court is a bit bigger.

Court size: 6.4m × 18.29m
Tennis ball: Orange ball (50 per cent compression)
Recommended racquet size: 23–25 inches

 Green-Stage

The ball used in the Green stage has a higher compression (75 per cent of a yellow tennis ball) and children play on a full-size court.

Court size: 10.97m × 23.78m (full court)
Tennis ball: Green ball (75 per cent compression)
Recommended racquet size: 25–27 inches
